I appreciate how Graham set himself a high bar for what success looks like for his exploration of AI-assisted coding. A takeaway for me (drawn from what he wrote^1) is that a big increase in velocity can unlock the ability to incorporate th

Awesome! Thanks for distilling the (significant) value prop and highlighting the author's bona fides, Simon! It's signal in the noise (which noise includes both the annoying/distracting "mannered" claudisms in the p

Sorry, TLDR. Seriously, this is just not how to communicate: > "To tune your perception make sure to give yourself enough headspace to allow the feeling pre-drinking to temporarily burn into memory ready for later retrieval when yo

My 13pro is at 84% capacity, but in the last month or two it seems to lose charge much more rapidly than it used to. Probably the only reason I'll consider an upgrade.

I've often read (sorry, no citations handy) that by the time you notice / feel thirst, you've already been dehydrated for some time. And chronic (mild) dehydration is much more common than hyponatremia. I'll always err o

TIMTOWTDI. "[T]hings shared with the team (in the repo)" implies project-specific skills. See e.g. https://github.com/mattpocock/skills for a stellar example of third-party skills for battle-hardened workfl

Hmm. Examples of horrible alignmnent don't necessarily outweigh the fact that most people, most of the time, mostly behave in a way that is socially aligned. (Though I'm speaking in terms of intent, conveniently ignoring the side

Try smolvm microvms from https://smolmachines.com - among other benefits they only consume host resources if they're actually used.

Cool! S an avid reader, Whispersync is one of the things that keeps me paying Amazon/Audible. Competition and viable OSS alternatives would be great!

"completely" LLM generated? Hard boundaries there simply don't exist for most workflows, and I suspect if they did, it'd be at the expense of things ~nobody would want to give up.

Great approach - I'd add a key one: "Who else should I talk to / who is (regardless of title) effectively responsible for X?"

Zed still has a lot of rough edges. A month or two ago I couldn't believe that a basic feature like code folding was just completely broken.

I don't like htmx. Compared to component-based approaches, its template / DOM / HTTP-fragment contracts are harder to share, type-check, version, and compose. Application behavior is distributed among: - Markup attributes

I highly recommend the book "Deep Simplicity" by John Gribbin.^1 It explores precisely this topic: the emergence of unexpectedly rich, complex behaviors from very simple rules given feedback and sensitivity to initial conditions.

Yeah; how many times in 24 hours can one vigilante commit acts of thinly-narratively-justified but actually-illegal torture without audiences clueing in?

I love this idea. I also just checked out your blog (jerf.org) which also has some gems.

Hmm, I'd define that as "deprecated", not "obsolete". Many extant H2 deployments are stable and performant, and if they're eg fronted by an H3 CDN, the migration ROI might be questionable. /$.02

By what definition is HTTP/2 considered obsolete? Are you suggesting it's been supplanted by H3? (FWIW I agree w/ your objection to the "httpx2" name.)

IMHO equating commits and PRs puts undue pressure on the scope and quality of a given commit, adding potential for unnecessary stress and eliminating the benefits of an additional buffer / layer for aggregation of changes. A PR represe
